Chapter 2730 - 2719: Exposing the Conspiracy

Facing dozens of green bull creatures at the initial stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s teasing words, He Zhonghai and He Dongfu, along with others, felt their blood boiling instantly. However, their cultivation was being suppressed now, and they didn’t have the leisure to exchange words with Ye Chenfeng and others. Moreover, they did not possess the Heaven and Earth Flame, and even if they had treasures on them, they required Spiritual Energy to activate.

He Zhonghai’s face twitched continuously as he took out a black jade pendant from his bosom, his eyes filled with reluctance.

This black jade pendant was bestowed upon him by the Hes’ ancestor, He Kongsheng. By crushing the pendant, one could form a layer of Spiritual Energy protection without needing to inject Spiritual Energy into it.

This layer of Spiritual Energy protection could withstand attacks from Peak Divine Emperor Realm experts, and most importantly, the activation of this pendant didn’t require Spiritual Energy, making it life-saving in emergencies.

The black jade pendant, given by He Kongsheng, was an honor beyond measure for He Zhonghai. Yet now, to save his life, he had no choice but to crush the pendant.

As the dozens of green bull creatures came closer, the ground’s tremor frequency grew larger.

With a "bang!"

He Zhonghai gritted his teeth and crushed the black jade pendant in his palm. Instantly, a layer of black Spiritual Energy enveloped him, He Dongfu, and six other Upper World experts.

This barrier could only last for half an hour, so as soon as it formed, He Zhonghai said, "We must leave here immediately."

Before leaving, He Zhonghai shot a fierce look at Ye Chenfeng, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

This barrier could move along with the person who activated it, rather than being fixed in one place.

He Dongfu and the others followed He Zhonghai forward. The initial stage green bull creatures couldn’t even create a ripple on the barrier as they struck it, unable to break through.

He Zhonghai and his group progressed continuously until they gradually disappeared from Ye Chenfeng and others’ sight.

On the other side of the blue light curtain.

Ye Chenfeng, Old Bai, and Old Hei didn’t anticipate that He Zhonghai had a jade pendant that didn’t require Spiritual Energy activation, allowing them to narrowly escape.

The four elderly men at the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm stood with Ye Chenfeng. After a moment of silence, the elder in a gray robe introduced himself first, prompting the other three elders to follow suit.

Having witnessed the power of the Green Flame, they were now deeply anxious. After all, their cultivation was being suppressed, and the Green Flame could easily burn them to death.

The gray-robed elder introduced himself as Feng Deyuan, the Great Elder of the Upper World Tianhuan Sect. Another slightly plump old man named Lu Chengying was the Second Elder from the Upper World Xinglei Valley. An elder with a large mole on his chin named Gao Huapeng was the Great Elder from the Upper World Yunhai Palace. Finally, the short-statured elder named Hu Tianwu was the Third Elder of the Upper World Tianyue Gate.

The disgusting demeanor displayed by He Zhonghai had left Feng Deyuan, Lu Chengying, Gao Huapeng, and Hu Tianwu very displeased. Their sects were considered first-rate forces in the Upper World.

In contrast, the four elders felt quite fond of Ye Chenfeng; it was thanks to him they managed to escape the Chaos Demon Emperor’s main tomb chamber, and just now Ye Chenfeng saved them from many green bull creatures.

Truthfully, they knew little about Ye Chenfeng; their alliance with the Hes was mainly because of their overlord family status, but now their perception had changed.

Feng Deyuan bowed to Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Young brother, thank you for your help. He Zhonghai and He Dongfu are merely pretentious people."

Lu Chengying also said, "Young brother, the Hes issued two warrants for you; is it true you have a connection with extraterrestrial demons?"

Gao Huapeng and Hu Tianwu looked at Ye Chenfeng, feeling a bit relaxed as the green bull creatures were dealt with, and no imminent danger seemed to arise.

Ye Chenfeng unconsciously shrugged his shoulders. Had Feng Deyuan and the others decided on hostility, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t have been lenient. Fortunately, these four elders still showed some integrity.

Ye Chenfeng hadn’t publicly discussed He Kongsheng’s conspiracy, not even with Old Bai and Old Hei.

Since Old Bai and Old Hei had only recently met Ye Chenfeng, there hadn’t been time for detailed explanations.

Regardless of whether revealing the conspiracy would be believed, it seemed time to inform other sects. Ye Chenfeng would require the support of Upper World sects against the Hes.

Ye Chenfeng remained silent for several seconds before finally speaking, "I am connected with extraterrestrial demons."

After hearing this, Gao Huapeng and others’ faces changed drastically, instantly showing vigilance.

However, Ye Chenfeng continued, "But, I have subdued those extraterrestrial demons, and they now all obey me."

"I think there is a matter concerning the Hes that you might find more interesting."

"Currently, a red pattern is spreading across the Upper, Middle, and Lower Realms of the Divine Origin Realm. Once the red pattern covers the entire realm, anyone within it will instantly turn into a pool of blood, their power flowing into He Kongsheng’s body through the pattern."

"This is He Kongsheng’s conspiracy. The red pattern spreading across the Divine Origin Realm is typically undetectable, even by Peak Divine Emperor Realm experts."

"He Kongsheng plans to use all cultivators in the Divine Origin Realm to make a leap into the Eternal Life Realm."

Ye Chenfeng’s words were shocking.

Not only did Feng Deyuan, Lu Chengying, Gao Huapeng, and Hu Tianwu freeze, but even Old Bai and Old Hei had disbelief written all over their faces.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian frowned and said, "Young guy, this method of strength enhancement is vaguely mentioned in an ancient text I’ve seen, but I never expected He Kongsheng to have mastered such a method?"

Hu Tianwu spoke, his expression filled with intense gravity, believing Ye Chenfeng’s words were true: "My ancestor once unintentionally mentioned such a method for strength enhancement. If this is indeed true, then He Kongsheng is extraordinarily insane, willing to sacrifice the entire Divine Origin Realm for his own Eternal Life advancement!"

Beside them, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao found themselves unable to interject, merely listening silently, having fallen into a stupor. If Ye Chenfeng hadn’t discovered this conspiracy, they might have suddenly and inexplicably turned into pools of blood one day.

Thinking about this.

Cold sweat couldn’t help but run down their two bodies.
